Well, since I just (literally, 10 minutes ago) emerged mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r2, and had no problems on a 32-bit system, I must suspect that this is a 64-bit issue.
Nope. I emerged both firefox and thunderbird without issue on my AMD64 4000+ about 14 hours ago.
In that regard, I see at least one thing in your emerge info that has been called into question for 64-bit users in recent threads: CFLAGS="-march=k8
I use k8. k8, opteron, etc., etc. are supposed to be synonyms as I understand it. k8 is the preferred one according to most sources I have read but, if they are truly synonyms, I'm not sure why one should be preferred over another.
Oh, and despite what Patrick said, I think you were right to post here first-- no need to clog up b.g.o with what might be a configuration problem and waste developer's time closing an invalid bug. I think it's always wise to try to make sure that it really is a bug before posting it.
Quite right. I doubt that it is a bug - more likely a broken system in some way.
the other person who mentioned using march=k8 said that that was the recommendation of the docs, but that seems to no longer be the case, if people using this flag are regularly receiving compilation errors
No errors here. :) Be lucky, Neil -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
